Hmm, Max and the web were created on NeXTSTEP because it was such a great media environment. There definitely was a shift to consumer side at Apple, but Apple was always much more consumer focused than NeXTSTEP. The base level machine cost $10,000 in 1990!
My information comes from sitting at One Infinite Loop with the heads of QT, Graphics and Imaging, etc during the transition from QT to QTKit. I was also there the week all of those people were displaced to make room for the iPhone team on campus. It was not a subtle hint where things were going.
